                  MY DAD
               PAUL PETERSEN

CAPO: 1st FRET

INTRO:
C                     Em
He isn't much in the eyes of the world
       F              G
He'll never make history.
    C                     Em
No, he isn't much in the eyes of the world,
    F                  G
But he is the world to me.

VERSE:
    C    Am7   F
My daaaaaaaad,
     Em       C    Am7   F
Now here is a man.
   Em       C            Em
To me he is everything strong
   F            G
No he can't do wrong,
   C    Em   F   G
My dad,
   C   Am    F
My daaaaad
    Em       C     Am7   F
Now he understands
     Em           C           Em
When I bring him troubles to share
    F            G        C    F   C   B
Oh, he's always there, my dad.


BREAK:
B      Em      B          Em        B
  When I was small I felt ten feet tall.
     Em       Bm7     Em   C  D7
When I walked by his side
 G        D7        G                D7
And ev'ry one would say, "that's his son,"
       Dm                      G  Dm G
And my heart would burst with priiiiide.


VERSE:
    C   Am7
My daaaaaad,
F     Em         C   Am7   F
  Oh, I love him so,
   Em       C             Em     F            G
And I only hope that some day my own son will say,
     C     Am   F
"My dad,
    Am   F    C     Am7  F  Em  C
Now here is a man."
